antipodes

The Françoise Calcagno Art Studio presents a new exhibition. On this occasion we chose not to
take any subject, leaving the artists the chance to decide the subject on the basis of their personal
research. Why "Antipodes"? Why are the very different paths of these artists. The exhibition brings together some
works in which we highlight the different poetic visions and concepts behind their work.

reading an article entitled "Reflections on the effect of the war compared with the effect of currency without

living.
Antipodes is the work of Meyer Berrebi, living in Paris, his adopted city, since 1960. Through its small
track formed a universe where the characters will tell stories with rich colors and delicate pasta
generous. The initial step is done with humility, waiting cautious and serenity. The work does sway
in the infinitely mysterious an inexpressible reality except through the harmony that dwells, that the
realized and that makes it exist, leaving the author surprised, grateful and sometimes ... a stranger to
this work.
